Antigravity CLI

What hackers pick instead

• GitHub CopilotRecommended as a cheap way to use many AI models with smooth VS Code integration and autocompletion, though critics resent tightening request limits, pricing changes and ads in PRs.571recommend
• oh-my-piA batteries-included fork of the Pi coding harness with sensible defaults, easy provider switching and built-in search and context tools, though critics find it bloated and token-hungry.104recommend
• Grok Build CLIFast, smooth terminal coding agent that people find capable and recommend; critics say it uploads whole directories, including secrets, to xAI.66recommend
• DeepSeek HarnessRecommended as an open-source agent harness with good observability, a plugin system and a desktop app. Critics mostly question its plugin design and worry about data collection.63recommend
• Claude Code VS Code extensionBrings Claude Code into VS Code for reviewing and editing code in a GUI. Main caveat: a lookalike extension on the Cursor marketplace reportedly contained malware.31recommend
